This last week John Howard has, twice, sought have the Australian public trust him and / or to let them have regard to his record as the basis for, for instance, accepting the proposed new IR laws.
It's a bold thing to to ask from someone with "form" for being totally untrustworthy. Just to recall a few. Remember those core and non-core election promises or that he, John Howard, would never introduce GST into Australia or the kids overboard?
Last year, well know and veteran political journalist Margo Kingston wrote a superb book, Not Happy John [published by Penguin] - which became a best seller for many, many weeks - cataloguing Howard's lies and duplicity over the years. The book is worth re-reading. If you haven't read it, check it at your bookstore. It is still available. One thing is for sure. Once read you certainly would not want to rely on anything John Howard says - let alone trust him.
